Bout of Books Day 6
Read more: Bout of Books Day 6Another quick update post for the Bout of Books 11 Read-a-thon, day 6 is here and since yesterday I’ve done nothing more than enjoy my visit to Liverpool.

Read more: Popping my read-a-thon cherryI’m fairly new to this whole blogging about books thingymajig (you may have noticed??) and through perusing many booktube videos I have come across many a read-a-thon that I have, unfortunately, been too late to attend. So imagine my delight when I found out about this super low-key, low-pressure read-a-thon called The Bout of Books…
